There are bands that go well with a drink, and then there are bands that turn even the lightest drinker into a nonstop, unapologetic booze machine. To have two bands of the latter kind on the same bill is kinda genius and also kinda dangerous. Our livers were quivering in fear when we set off for this one. Six things we learned when Thin Lizzy and Clutch played in London 1) Clutch seem stronger than [...]
The Tallest Man on Earth puts down the guitar and goes full-band on the Irish classic-rock hit 'Dancing in the Moonlight.'

Em qualquer sessão, apresentação televisiva ou registro ao vivo do The Tallest Man On Earth , nos acostumamos a ver apenas Kristian Matsson e uma guitarra ou violão no palco. Parece que o sueco está em um momento de transição em sua carreira, trocando essas apresentações intimistas por shows com banda completa. A primeira prova dessa transição veio na forma da canção inédita There's no leaving now , e agora, em qualidade impecável de som e imagem, é possível conferir Kristian e todo um elenco musical apresentando um cover [...]

Photo by Meghan Brosnan Last night, Kristian Matsson (aka The Tallest Man on Earth ) appeared on the Swedish TV show På Spåret , as TwentyFourBit points out. Backed by a full band, Matsson performed two songs: the Swedish folk tune "En Fattig Trubadur" and a Swedish-language cover of Thin Lizzy's classic "Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)". Thanks to the supporting musicians, Matsson's rendition of "Dancing" showed off a more lush, intricate sound, one that was as recklessly rocking as it was folksy and insightful. Watch the full performance here [...]

Watch Matsson perform the latter for På Spåret above (he also does Swedish folk tune "En Fattig Trubadur" [...]

If you hadn't realised, we like beer. We like drinking it. We like drinking new versions of it. We like talking about it. That's why, when the mighty Clutch released their own beer, we thought we'd talk to singer, Neil Fallon about beer. Talking about beer is the second most enjoyable beer-related activity after drinking the lovely, lovely stuff, after all. Mmmm. Beer. Neil Fallon tells us about his Top 6 beers: 1) Clutch [...]
This is a terrific mashup of Thin Lizzy's 'Boys are back in town' and The Pixies 'Where is My Mind?' What do you think of it?

This is a rockin' Christmas track you can wish along to! "In December 1979, The Greedies released their debut single, "A Merry Jingle". It was backed by "A Merry Jangle". The band consisted of Steve Jones and Paul Cook, ex-Sex Pistols, and three members of Thin Lizzy; Phil Lynott, Brian Downey and Scott Gorham."

This holiday season there are some very cool presents for the heavy rock fan in your life (i.e. yourself, your dad, older brother, the dude you buy weeed from behind the gas station). Deep Purple has a killer looking 2LP/2CD collection of all their BBC sessions and there's a box set of all the good Whitesnake albums (meaning the ones up to 1982). But number one on everyone's wish list should be this monster 6CD/1DVD Thin Lizzy box set of all their BBC recordings. Jeezus, these guys were busy! Thin Lizzy was pumping out albums on [...]

Cleveland's own Cloud Nothings will be releasing their 2nd LP, Attack on Memory , on January 24th via the Carpark label. The album was recorded by Steve Albini at his own Electrical Audio Studios. While Cloud Nothing-in-chief Dylan Baldi was creating Attack on Memory , he writes... "I more or less memorized every guitar solo on the best Thin Lizzy albums, listened to only The Wipers for about 3 weeks, and fell asleep to Black Sabbath every night." The LP is reportedly [...]

Today's Live Performance comes courtesy of ARTE TV and the Hellfest festival Edition 2011. Is Thin Lizzy without Phil Lynott really still Thin Lizzy? We won't go into that discussion today. They played an excellent set at Clisson, that's in France, on June 18th 2011, and that's all that really matters. Read more »
We talked briefly with Neil Fallon of Clutch about being old, making mistakes and not being a metal band.
